Postmasters Prophets, Think Bureau
Heads.
Washington, Nov. 22,—Issuing the
forecast that the coming holiday sea
son, the first one under the new par
cel post law, will witness the heavi
est postal business that the service
ever experienced, the postoffice de
partment today called on postmasters
throughout the country to see to it
that they did not run out of postage
stamps.
At the same time while postmast-
srs were warned not to let their
stock run out they likewise were cau
tioned not to order too many. There
fore the department endowed its
postmasters v/ith pov/ers of divination
and prophecy.
where the love and devotion that both
have known so little of might at least
find its way into their lives.—Phila-

Coburn's Greater Minstrels next Fri

soft-.shoe, eccentric and buck and

sweetheart, courting in the pines of
Old Tennessee, gives an opportunity

ing to be appreciated, as well as the
harmony and ensemWe movement of
the chorus. Mr. Ford’s dancing is
clean, neS'^and clever, after the man

Steals to VIst Sister in Home.
With a love for his sister that had
^rown greater every day in the last
few years they had been separated,
eleven-year-old George Brooks took a
little money belonging to his step
mother in an up-state town and work
ed his way to Philadelphia, where
he not ojily found the sister he loved
and sought but was allowed to spend
a day with her througli the efforts
of a charitable institution.
The girl the little fellow had sought
is named Virginia, She was placed
in an institution by her stepmother,
who had charged the child with a
crime that the little brown-eyed girl
knew nothing about, according to the
brother’s story. The bond between
the sister and brother grew the
stronger after the death of their
mother, and this bond was even
strengthened when the father mar
ried the second time and brought a
woman to the former happy home
who did not love, or even like her
stepchildren. It was a short time lat
er that Virginia was accused of
stealing a ring and sent away from
the brother she loved.
“I did not steal a great deal of
money,” the little fellow' said yester
day as he told his story to an officer
in the charitable institution. “I
knew that I would be hungry on the
way and I did take just enough to
buy me something to eat.” In New
York George met a newsboy who had
worked on the trains and told the
lad his destination. Newsboys have
not always had the easiest life in the
world and the one that George met
was no exception. He brought
George to Philadelphia, found the in
stitution w'here the boy’s sister was
confined and took the boy to the Chil-
iren’s Aid Society, who arranged for
bhe children to see each other.
The society investigated the boy’s
I;6ry and an officer said yesterday
hat if it turned out as the boy said
hat they would make arrangements
') bring the children together again
.nd find a home for them here.
For the present George will be
aken care of by the Children’s Aid
Society, who said yesterday that they
loped they would be able prov^
hat the story the boy told was not
3nly true but that they should try {
to bring the children together before
the holidays and fi^d them a home
The Bride of the White House.
This is the day of wedding bells
at the White House. To the Presi
dent we tender our best and sincer-
est compliments of hte day; to the
bride the w'ish that there be naught
but sunshine and roses. To-day the
nation’s eyes, and its heart as well,
are at that marriage altar in the
wonderful historic East room.
It is fitting ttiat the people of the
riatioi) turn to this ceremony the
smiling' face and extend the hand of
fellowship. ■ In his rise to power and
place the President has not left be
hind him the home circle and the
hearthstone. In the palace of the
President thep is the same splendid
atmosphere of the family fireside
that there v/as in the honxe of Mr.
Wilson, citizen. Today the head of
a nation is but the head of a delight
ful family, wth all the mixture of
emotion.s that attend the first depart
ure of a member of that family
through the wedding door, out into
the world .beyond the fire.gide.
It is a marriage, too, of which all
of us. can say to the President in
Shakespeare’s words;—
“The match
“Were rich and honourable; besides,
the gentleman
“Is full of virtue, bounty, v/orth and
j qualities
“Beseeming such a wife as your fair
daughter.”
It is an American marri’age in
which hearts are joined, not estates
nor titles. It is a simple, homely,
sincere ceremony in a real home, ev
en though the place be the power
house of the nation.
So today the noise of politics is
hushed.' There is but one party all
the country over, and that a wedding
party. To the bride the whole nation
wishes a prosperous life, long and. ev
er happy, and with no sound in the
future more inharmonious that the
mellow wedding bells of to-day .Tues

mind letting me fcnow^: if I jmay :
help th^s: poor; little kiddie, and
believe me.
The above letter, which came in re
sponse to the appeal of little- Jose
phine Lawson, whose story appeared
in last Saturday’s “Press” tells its
own story, and assures the little girl
who has never known the love of ,a
mother, that the few Christmas gifts
that she hoped Santa Claus migiit
bring her will be found in the stock
ing she will hang by the fireplace
when she tiptoes in on the morning
of the greatest day in the year to
all children,
Santa Glaus’ agents were not
sleeping, for Josephine’s letter iii
which she asked for a doll, a ball and
a pocketbook, was read by one kind-
hearted woman, whose heart was
touched by the appeal of the little
homeless child.
The attendant at whose knee the
little girl has knelt each night ’and
who told the little child that it would
be all right for her to ask God to
bless Santa Claus too, has told Jose
phine that she feels sure that the
old man who diives the reindeers will
not forget her Christmas morning.
The little girl’s eyes shown all the
brighter last night as she asked the
attendant over and over again if she
really thought that Santa Clus would
remember her this year, which is to to
the first time that the child has ever
known what it was to receive Christ
mas presents.
Toys wall not be the only gifts to
greet Josephine on Christmas morn
ing, for the little girl has been a crip
ple all her life. A kind-hearted doc
tor has promised Josephine that by
Christmas she will be able to take off
the braces in which she has been en-
'cased for nine years, givng her the
greatest of all gifts, the use of her
limbs.—Philadelphia Press, Nov. 25.

Bit His Mother, But He Loves Her
StilL
New York, Nov. 19.:—“There’s good
in that boy, and it’s too- bad he has
.such a temper,” remarked Clifford,
an attendant in the Brooklyn Chil
dren’s court, when an officer of the
House of Refuge started away with
Antonio Tutroni, 14, of No, 90 Car
roll street.
Antonio was convicted of having
bitten his mother, Rosalie, because
she wanted him to attend school. She
was not in court when he was sen-
tenced to the House of Refuge.
“Here, take this to the old lady,”
said the boy as he handed 75 cents
t 0 agent Teats of the Brooklyn Chil
dren's society. He entered the cor
ridor leading to the detention cell,
but stopped.
“Say, mister, give me a minute
more,” he said: “I want to send the
rest to her.” He unlaced and pulled
off the right shoe. A half dollar fell
to the floor. Off went the left shoe;
another half dollar appeared.
“Take ’em to her,” said the boy.
“She wasn't very kind to me, but—
gee!—a feller can’t help loving his
mother, can he? Say, mister, won’t
you tell her so?”
The agent said he would and An
tonio was led av/ay.

roads.
The telephone overcomes many of the obsta
cles of bad roads and makes it possible for the
farmer and other rural residents to transact busi
ness in the city and with neighbors when the
Toads are impassable.
Progressive farmers are iiisisting upon good
roads and telephones. These two agencies of
modern civilization are doingmore than all others
toward eliminating the isolation of country life.
